Always be mindful of your community’s furry friends roaming the streets. They need our help at all times. If you see a cat dart across the road on your street, chances are she might be a homeless cat and could use a little help. Just these [...]

About: I'm 32 years old, born and raised in Los Angeles. I love to learn, and have been service oriented since my Boys Scout days. I currently live in Shadow Hills, CA (part of Sunland) in a community full of horses. How many cats do you own? I currently own two cats - Rocky (who looks like a Siamese) and Sammy (who looks like a Russian blue). I'd actually say that they own me - they're just nice enough to let me sleep under the same roof sometimes. I also get to spend time with my girlfriend's two lovely cats Skittles [...]

Let FixNation Help!

admin 2020-03-11T16:42:01-07:00 January 8th, 2016|Happy Tails|

At FixNation, our phone is always ringing. It’s a sound we love to hear because it means people care, that cats will be taken care of. One particular call came in about a house that had a momma cat and four kittens roaming around, all unfixed. The owner of the home had started trapping, but didn't know about FixNation. Instead, he was taking the family to the shelter. After the neighbors talked to him, he reached out to us and let us work with him on the problem. It wasn’t just one family; turns out there were many cats around the neighborhood, [...]

admin 2016-01-11T14:17:42-08:00 December 16th, 2015|Caregiver Tips|

It’s that special time of the year when we must pay extra attention to the hazards of the holidays when it comes to guaranteeing that our cats remain safe. Decorate your tree, the cat friendly way Christmas tree ornaments and tinsel should be hung at a safe distance away from cats, especially playful kittens.
